We own it 6 February 2024

After 40 years, privatisation of our public services has failed. It’s time for public ownership. We use it, we pay for it, we own it.

We Own It is a campaigning organisation. Promoted by Cat Hobbs for We Own It, both of The Old Music Hall, 106-108 Cowley Road, Oxford OX4 1JE.

National Secular Society

The National Secular Society campaigns for a freer, fairer, more tolerant society.

Humanists UK

Make sense of the world through logic, reason, and evidence Seeks to treat those around us with warmth, understanding, and respect.

Electoral Reform Society

Campaigns for a democracy fit for the 21st century. Works across the political divide to put voters at the heart of British politics.

Full fact

Independent fact checkers and campaigners who find, expose and counter the harm it does.

Republic

Republic’s goal is simple: replace the monarchy with an elected head of state and more democratic political system. Instead of a king, we want someone chosen by the people, not running the government but representing the nation independently of our politicians.

A monarchy should not exist in a democratic society. The majority of us believe in democracy, and think democracy makes for a fairer, more prosperous society. Who of us think the British version of democracy is working well?

Too much power in the hands of government, it’s too difficult to hold people to account We see corruption and cronyism everywhere, especially the Lords and in the honours system.
